• 0:51
  Do you know what time it is? It's time for another week
• 0:55
  living there. Weekly ritual ghost cult mags,
• 0:59
  rocket metal News Live stream. I have had a day my friends out
• 1:03
  there I have had a day. So I have the no effects chicken
• 1:07
  supporting ME3 clocks for the cucks out there Holy cow what a
• 1:13
  day. I technical difficulties one
• 1:16
  thing at 1 battle after another literally.
• 1:20
  But I'm glad to be back. This is our first weekly ritual
• 1:23
  of the new year. The engine compound has arrived.
• 1:29
  What a day man. But.
• 1:31
  Just a quick. Public service announcement and
• 1:33
  I will probably make multiple mentions of this.
• 1:38
  We launched a new channel on YouTube called at Ghost cult
• 1:42
  live just for these lives. This is we're trying something
• 1:45
  out where we did our research. Cube is here.
• 1:48
  What's up cube love you brother. I told you TV Yeah, yeah.
• 1:54
  We are moving our lives to a new live channel just for YouTube.
• 2:00
  Our main channel will still be the home for videos, interviews,
• 2:03
  unboxings. I still have a bunch of 2025
• 2:06
  content to run in terms of, you know, best stubs and my personal
• 2:10
  25 or 50 or 70 records of the year.
• 2:14
  And I'm going to do a couple this coming week.
• 2:16
  So just moving people over from the channel that has 6000 plus
• 2:22
  viewers, which I'm grateful for to, you know, moving all the way
• 2:29
  over. To, you know, a channel with
• 2:31
  six. So if you can go follow at Ghost
• 2:34
  Cult live on YouTube, that would mean a lot to me because we're
• 2:37
  going to try to grow that. We, I've been saying for a
• 2:39
  while, we're going to launch memberships on the channel.
• 2:42
  So that Channel still has to get monetized, but there are ways
• 2:45
  for us to give private content to pay, you know.
• 2:49
  Subscribers. I think it's possible so.
• 2:53
  Dillinger, I told you, Kefi, and I wouldn't believe you.
• 2:55
  I did believe you. I know.
• 2:57
  I do believe you. And I know what that's about.
• 3:00
  And you know, we're going to, we're going to wait and see.
• 3:03
  But like, again, I can't afford to cast aspersions.
• 3:09
  I have relationships to maintain.
• 3:11
  If shitty people are shitty, we're going to talk about it.
• 3:14
  If people we look up to are, you know, our heroes are unheroic,
• 3:19
  we're going to talk all about it.
• 3:20
  I was opposed to this back at the original Me Too movement, my
• 3:26
  partner. At those called, Omar Cordy was
• 3:28
  like, hey, what if? That Maynard stuff is true and I
• 3:31
  was like, I'm going to be heartbroken, he told on himself
• 3:36
  in his book. But also he's less sketchy and
• 3:39
  horrible than probably everybody else.
• 3:41
  Anyway, Rob Mirko is here. We're also hanging out on
• 3:44
  TikTok. The best experience for this
• 3:46
  show is always YouTube. And as I said, we have a new
• 3:48
  YouTube channel at Ghost Cult man at Ghost Cult Live, which
• 3:52
  eventually I hope will become the home for all our live
• 3:55
  streams and also Twitch, Facebook, Instagrams, my
• 4:01
  personal one and the Ghost Cult 1.
• 4:03
  So come one, come on, you know, come one, come all.
• 4:07
  Thumb is the operative word. I need to wet my whistle.
• 4:09
  I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep too well.
• 4:10
  I had a busy day. Therapy today, work meeting
• 4:15
  today. A lot, a lot of high stress
• 4:18
  things going on. But thanks.
• 4:19
  Shout out to my partner Melissa. For being there for me and
• 4:22
  getting me through. I have a convicted melon liquid
• 4:27
  death and we'll see how many of these I have left.
• 4:28
  Maybe like about 15? When they're gone, they're gone.
• 4:36
  Thanks to everybody who's watching.
• 4:37
  Mostly still on the original Ghost Cult Mag channel.
• 4:40
  That's fine. I expect that I'll shout it out
• 4:43
  soon enough. And as usual, we start this show
• 4:48
  with the announcements. It's usually the bad news 1st
• 4:51
  and then the rest of the good news.
• 4:53
  Let's just walk. Down memory lane a little bit.
• 4:55
  I wouldn't begin the screen. You guys want to talk and not
• 4:58
  see it? When I see a better
• 4:59
  announcements graphic, I'll use one reminder to.
• 5:03
  Enter a book giveaway. We are giving away 5 books, 3
• 5:08
  prizes in total, 1 grand prize and a bunch of 2nd, 2nd and 3rd
• 5:13
  prizes and maybe some audio books and stuff also.
• 5:16
  I have files for that I have permission to give away.
• 5:19
  The grand prize winner will win Ozzy's memoir Last Rites, his
• 5:23
  last 1-2 books about Slayer by the authority on Slayer DX.
• 5:28
  Ferris friend of ours. Hopefully going to get an
• 5:30
  interview with him either or here and at Glacially.
• 5:33
  Musical. Money hacks for metal heads by
• 5:37
  our dear friend Jessie Mae spoiler I wrote the back cover
• 5:41
  blurb for her based on my original review.
• 5:48
  And then finally mosh pit productivity.
• 5:52
  If you're especially on TikTok, Instagram, Mark's metal minute.
• 5:56
  Good friend of mine, Mark Morris has written a he's melded his
• 6:01
  twin loves work place, productivity and metal, and it's
• 6:05
  a it's awesome. He's actually using the
• 6:07
  principles in his work and he's working on a second book now, a
• 6:11
  certain member of a certain band.
• 6:13
  We both know who totally supports this singer being
• 6:16
  exposed. Womp womp womp womp.
• 6:21
  I already know. Anyway, it's all good.
• 6:24
  Dillinger slash Andrew. I appreciate the camaraderie and
• 6:28
  the private messages and the support.
• 6:30
  It does mean a lot to me. I definitely didn't meet.
• 6:32
  I wasn't trying to Pooh Pooh you.
• 6:34
  I just have to be careful. About like when I can't shoot
• 6:36
  from the hip unfortunately in this climate.
• 6:40
  I don't think a lot of people appreciate this, but like, I
• 6:44
  don't know that journalists. And again, I still see myself as
• 6:47
  a journalist. I went to journalism school.
• 6:48
  I have a minor in musicology. I played in bands for 20 years.
• 6:52
  I have a band again, like I don't think I know more than
• 6:57
  anybody else. I'm just old and I saw all the
• 6:59
  cool bands and I know a lot. So I'm just trying to share what
• 7:02
  I have, my opportunities, my platform to platform others.
• 7:06
  Sometimes that means covering some bands I dislike.
• 7:09
  Most of the time it means I can cover bands I do like and love.
• 7:13
  But you're I don't think the the music media.
• 7:16
  Is much liked, especially in this current climate where
• 7:19
  everybody has an opinion, everybody's on YouTube,
• 7:21
  everybody's on TikTok. Not everybody is a real
• 7:24
  authority. I just want you to know that
• 7:27
  Randall B Dunn is here. I also want to tell you like
• 7:30
  Pitchfork, by the way, you know, a competitor of ours, she's much
• 7:34
  bigger, you know, owned by Conde Nast, humongous giant reach 10
• 7:39
  million monthly views on Pitchfork a month.
• 7:41
  And for years they never respected or covered metal.
• 7:44
  And then suddenly it was cool a cover metal about 10 years ago.
• 7:47
  And they went on this like hipster black metal and heavy
• 7:51
  metal binge, like they always loved metal.
• 7:53
  They did not. They ran their review of
• 7:56
  Megadeth. This week with. 3 spelling
• 8:00
  errors of the name Megadeth in the review.
• 8:03
  What the fuck? I don't think it's.
• 8:06
  The writer's fault. Someone in editorial should have
• 8:08
  caught that. So like, if you want to be taken
• 8:11
  seriously, Pitchfork, and have people, you know, if you just
• 8:13
  have the Megadeth record early, good for you and you can run a
• 8:16
  review of it. You know, we're hoping to do the
• 8:18
  same. Midsummer Band is here on
• 8:20
  TikTok. Hails.
• 8:21
  To you Midsummer, and we gratefully did a premiere for
• 8:24
  you this week. I'm just saying, like paying
• 8:27
  attention where you get your sources from, where you get your
• 8:30
  music news from, where you get your interviews from and who's
• 8:33
  doing them. There's a lot of.
• 8:34
  People are shitty, even pitchfork God damn it anyway.
• 8:40
  Theo want to turn 64 this week. I was listening to some typo.
• 8:44
  Today we're listening to Typo. Here at the house today, a
• 8:47
  little typo. Binge Romantic lunch and Typo,
• 8:51
  they go together. David Bowie's birthday would
• 8:54
  have been today and he died 10 years ago on on Saturday.
• 9:00
  Super sad. I still have trouble listening
• 9:03
  to the Black Star album. And what a way to go.
• 9:07
  If you're going to go out, go out, you know?
• 9:10
  Strong. You know, I think that's that's
• 9:12
  admirable. Leave an artistic statement.
• 9:15
  Malcolm Young. His birthday would have been on
• 9:18
  January 6th. I'm still regretting that one of
• 9:22
  the few bands I never did get to see was ACDC with Malcolm.
• 9:26
  I will. Probably go this coming summer
• 9:28
  to see them, possibly in Saint Louis with the glacial musical
• 9:32
  guys. Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone
• 9:36
  would have turned 60 this week. You may not know.
• 9:38
  Mother love bone. Or Andrew Wood.
• 9:40
  But certainly his death galvanized the whole Seattle
• 9:44
  grunge movement. Because Soundgarden changed
• 9:47
  forever. Because of his best.
• 9:49
  His best friendship with Chris Cornell also rest in power.
• 9:52
  Because Mother Love Bone broke up.
• 9:54
  When Andrew died, we got Pearl Jam, really one of the pinnacle
• 9:58
  early grunge bands. They don't really get credit for
• 10:01
  it. They ended up not getting
• 10:02
  signed, like the one band not signed to Sub Pop from that
• 10:05
  whole deal of bands back then that were Sub Pop bands,
• 10:09
  including Nirvana. And then they went to a major
• 10:12
  and they were just about to break.
• 10:13
  Big and Andrew Wood died 36 years ago.
• 10:18
  Terrible, but he would have turned 60.
• 10:22
  Also on some positive news. Happy birthday wishes go to
• 10:24
  Dirk. Verburen, our good friend at any
• 10:26
  time, anybody who's listened to the Ghost Code Magazine podcast,
• 10:29
  has heard this is Dirk Verburen and Megadeth.
• 10:31
  And you're listening to ghostcodemag.com.
• 10:33
  So like much. Appreciated Dirk, great guy.
• 10:37
  Looking forward to the new Megadeth album with Dirk on it.
• 10:41
  Poppy celebrated a birthday this week.
• 10:43
  Upcoming new Poppy album. I'm extremely hyped for Morgan
• 10:48
  Lander of Kitty. Picture here with me at Sick New
• 10:52
  World 2023 with my fun Hawaiian shirt on three.
• 10:57
  Fourths of Kitty in the picture with me.
• 10:58
  Really fun. Thanks for following Sycamore
• 11:02
  Sounds. We will follow you back when the
• 11:03
  show is over. Let's see what else?
• 11:06
  What else? Jimmy Page turns 83 on on
• 11:11
  tomorrow on the 9th as we record this every Thursday.
• 11:15
  Also from Led Zeppelin and celebrating a birthday this
• 11:18
  week. John Paul Jones, one of my.
• 11:19
  Heroes. Incredible.
• 11:23
  Also celebrating a birthday this week to Lindemann of Rhyme Stein
• 11:27
  and his solo career and other weirdness.
• 11:29
  This photo is by my partner Omar.
• 11:31
  Great shot. Also also Ivan Moody of Five
• 11:35
  Finger Death Punch celebrates a birthday this week.
• 11:38
  Wishing best of luck to Ivan. And also this weekend, Brent
• 11:42
  Smith of Shinedown. Great video by Rick Biano this
• 11:46
  week. I give Rick Biano a ton of shit
• 11:48
  on this channel because he's just got boomer ass tanks, but
• 11:51
  he actually talked about his bona fides or bona fides if
• 11:54
  you're like Latin. And he talked about producing
• 11:58
  off of Shinedown's debut album and writing half the songs and
• 12:02
  having a platinum record. Not too shabby to have like a
• 12:04
  platinum million selling record on your first real production
• 12:09
  job in music so. You know he may shit on Rick.
• 12:13
  Beato, but he's worked on some bangers.
• 12:16
  Collective Soul Stone, Double Pilots.
• 12:20
  And then just, I got asked by a bunch of people last week why
• 12:23
  didn't talk about Brigitte Bardot passing away.
• 12:25
  We talked about culture here. We talked about bands,
• 12:27
  especially rock and punk and metal.
• 12:30
  And I was asked like, why didn't I talk more about Brigitte
• 12:34
  Bardot dying because she's such an icon.
• 12:37
  And I said, oh, you know, she was kind of a hateful ass
• 12:39
  person. Chrissy Hind of all people.
• 12:43
  Chrissy Hind of the Pretenders a long time.
• 12:45
  I love her so much. She wrote this letter to Vanity
• 12:48
  Fair basically like how dare you drag Brigitte Bardot when she
• 12:52
  the day she died. Vanity Fair.
• 12:54
  Vanity Fair is like, I know they are known for their journal, you
• 12:58
  know, writing and think pieces in journalism, but none of these
• 13:01
  magazines are what they used to be.
• 13:03
  Very few magazines today are actually like providing value
• 13:07
  like they used to. 666 is here. What's up?
• 13:11
  C5 is here. Nice to see you again.
• 13:14
  I see a lot of familiar faces sometimes on the tick of the
• 13:16
  talk. I'm thankful for anybody that
• 13:18
  watches. But Chrissy Hine just dragging
• 13:21
  Vanity Fair in a public posts like, dude, you can't believe
• 13:25
  you. You know, like Bridget Bardo was
• 13:27
  a hateful, crazy bitch late in her life.
• 13:30
  And yes, she was beautiful and iconic, but also sometimes
• 13:33
  people we look up to are hella disappointing.
• 13:36
  Case in point, Dillinger, what you were talking about what
• 13:38
  we're going to see soon. So, you know, she's a boomer
• 13:43
  also. So maybe I just have to let her
• 13:45
  have her boomer ass take. But like, you know, she got
• 13:48
  dragged pretty hard in the comments, which I actually love.
• 13:52
  All right, Drew and myself, Super Clarks 2 turned 20 years
• 14:03
  old this week. Also, that a lot of fun that's
• 14:05
  going to get into theaters again.
• 14:07
  In February, a lot of fun from the world of Kevin Smith.
• 14:12
  Melissa, if you're here, Kevin Smith, Benjuen all right, once
• 14:18
  again, here's a tip menu. It's still kind of got the 2025
• 14:21
  prices, but I will drop the tip options in the menu in the
• 14:27
  description if you want to, if you're feeling tipsy, we
• 14:31
  appreciate tips. We do make some money here at
• 14:33
  Gozco from advertising and affiliate deals, but we'll talk
• 14:37
  about in a minute. But big butt, you know.
• 14:42
  We appreciate tips and super thanks and super likes, all
• 14:49
  right. And here's our Cash App.
• 14:55
  All right, back to me. To me.
• 14:58
  For the features this week at Ghost Cult.
• 15:01
  Once again, we're going to continue to share and roll out
• 15:05

• 15:40
  the best re issues on vinyl, we have a lot of vinyl unboxing
• 15:44
  content coming for 2026 as well soon.
• 15:49
  And yeah, so just did the unboxing of Smashing Pumpkins
• 15:53
  giant box set again. Grateful to have this thing.
• 15:55
  It's amazing. It was really nice visiting
• 15:59
  Melancholy in the Infinite Sadness and again, Albums of the
• 16:03
  Year guest posts All the Things staff posts new interviews this
• 16:08
  week on YouTube and our podcast. Rachel Skinner interviewed Nikon
• 16:13
  of Confess Confesses, the band that was jailed and threatened
• 16:18
  with execution for playing metal in Iran.
• 16:20
  I know you might be out there and think that you're pretty
• 16:23
  metal. You're not as metal as those
• 16:25
  guys. They were featured in the Hulu
• 16:27
  series Into the Void last year, which I highly recommend and
• 16:30
  their own episode just about them and their struggles.
• 16:34
  And Rachel Skinner in her first interview for those called
• 16:37
  interviewed them. She's got.
• 16:38
  Credits at Spin and you know, New Noise and other places.
• 16:42
  So yeah, fun, fun interview with Confessed.
• 16:46
  Really great inspirational stuff.
• 16:49
  Also this week I ran my interview with Jude Bennett of
• 16:53
  Beyond Creation. One of the best death metal
• 16:56
  albums of 2025 was their release to check that out if you look
• 17:01
  brutal technical death metal. Good.
• 17:04
  Times. Good times.
• 17:07
  Right, let's see what else? Also glacially musical.
• 17:10
  We did a live stream last night that was technically our first
• 17:13
  live stream of the year where he did a chaser episode on Spinal
• 17:16
  Tap and Rob Reiner Rest in peace.
• 17:19
  And then my mic shit the bed and I was lost for like half the
• 17:22
  episode. But we had a cool guest DJ Mike
• 17:25
  from Saint Louis. So you can check that out with
• 17:27
  mostly Don and and Nick hosting with a.
• 17:29
  Little bit of me at the start. All righty, and now it's time
• 17:34
  for the news. Rundown and we always start with
• 17:36
  metal festivals we get another sip of something metal festivals
• 17:52
  so. Milwaukee Metal Fest.
• 17:55
  I might have to go to this. I've been Hemming and hawing
• 17:57
  about going and I think I'm going to go now.
• 18:00
  John Bush was just announced to doing his anthrax set.
• 18:03
  I'm still trying to see John Bush.
• 18:04
  Do a whole show with this. I know he's doing the Metal
• 18:07
  Allegiance show in a few weeks, which I also might go check out,
• 18:10
  but he's not doing all set there.
• 18:12
  So I might very well end up at this Milwaukee Metal Fest, Acid
• 18:16
  Bath, Kill Switch, Engage Ministry and now Armored St. and
• 18:21
  John Bush and a bunch of others. So that's kind of huge for me to
• 18:25
  go and check out. Let's see, what else?
• 18:30
  What else? What else?
• 18:31
  So there's the line up. They've added a bunch of new
• 18:33
  bands. Acid Bath, Kill Switch, Engage
• 18:35
  and Ministry are your headliners.
• 18:37
  Are still a handful of bands left to go.
• 18:39
  Obituary, Agalock, Suicidal Tendencies, Also Parish, Iron,
• 18:43
  Reagan, Pallbearer, Power trip, Second Agalock, Set Integrity,
• 18:47
  Uada, Hyrax, Havoc, Prong Nails. Oh my God, these are all so
• 18:55
  Letcher's Nocturne Insight with my homie Richie Cavallera.
• 19:01
  So I might really need to go to this the first weekend of June.
• 19:06
  Also FY8 Fest 12 is this weekend.
• 19:09
  I got a bunch of friends there. Punchy punchy hardcore starting
• 19:12
  tomorrow, Hate breed, kickback, Marauder mind for a strain,
• 19:18
  Gorilla biscuits, my favorite flesh water ended, turmoil, C4
• 19:22
  combust, and many more. Red iron.
• 19:25
  Great, great, great stuff. Prepare the ground.
• 19:29
  Just a reminder, this is in Toronto the same weekend as
• 19:33
  Maryland Death Fest Amanrah. You will know us by the Trail of
• 19:36
  the Dead, Ransi Isuzu, Paul Bearer, the final show ever from
• 19:39
  Smallbard, and more. See if they're going to add.
• 19:43
  Seems pretty cool. I do the yellows as pass by.
• 19:50
  Halfira has added a prefill party featuring 18 Visions in
• 19:55
  their hometown in Orange County in Anaheim February 19th, 2026.
• 20:00
  Halfira W which is the day before, the day after this
• 20:04
  Friday and Saturday, so looking forward to that.
• 20:07
  Flatline Fest Dillinger, I think you were talking about this last
• 20:10
  week. David Otero is the masterful
• 20:13
  technical death metal producer from Denver, and he was putting
• 20:16
  up his Flatline Studios as his studio and he put out his own
• 20:19
  festival this year, so. This looks pretty cool.
• 20:21
  It's all local. Bands Arch was a pretty
• 20:26
  incredible I'm not maybe it's necessarily.
• 20:28
  Local but all bands he's produced so arch Spire.
• 20:31
  Cattle Decapitations from San Diego, aborted Alegion, Cephalic
• 20:36
  carnage who I love. Super stoked that they're still
• 20:40
  doing it. So Flatline fest that looks fun.
• 20:43
  Also Mystic Festival in Poland announced a gang of new bands.
• 20:47
  This is headlined by Megadeth, Behemoth, Black Label Society,
• 20:50
  Anthrax Down, Mastodon, Saxon Ice, 9 Kills and I think they
• 20:56
  added Folchi and like 40 other death metal.
• 20:59
  Bands. So that's kind of exciting.
• 21:02
  This is this is still, I'm still so gutted by this.
• 21:04
  You know, 2025 every year has losses.
• 21:07
  I was just thinking about Bowie and Prince recently for 2016 and
• 21:12
  obviously 2025. Like we're never going to forget
• 21:14
  about Ozzie and Brett Hines and Tompa from at the gates.
• 21:17
  But Anne Everton from Dar Sombre is a band I interviewed on the
• 21:21
  channel here and. We just love that band.
• 21:24
  Just an underground, weird band. And that's who Ghost Cult was.
• 21:28
  That's what our makeup is and it's in our DNA.
• 21:31
  They're doing a Celebration of Life festival at Otto Bar in
• 21:35
  Baltimore for her. With tons of bands and then I
• 21:39
  presume a bunch of bands are going to kind of collab.
• 21:41
  And do her music also, so, you know, just the thing.
• 21:47
  Just the thing. Just the thing, just the
• 21:54
  sadness. Best Muddy roots is about to
• 21:57
  drop their line up. They've been in putting out.
• 21:59
  Hence I think they secretly announced their first batch of
• 22:02
  bands. I believe amigo the devil is one
• 22:04
  of them been talking about his new single in a minute again.
• 22:08
  So muddy roots is coming. I think we're we're getting
• 22:10
  close to getting the line up drop Vacan open airs metal
• 22:15
  battle Canada. These are the Vacan metal
• 22:17
  battle. I think used to be called
• 22:19
  battles for Vacan or something is a battle of the bands.
• 22:22
  They have regionals, US major cities, like 14 cities Canada,
• 22:26
  all the big cities, West Coast, East Coast applications are open
• 22:30
  now. So check that out.
• 22:32
  They close soon. All right, that was all the
• 22:36
  festival news. Let's see.
• 22:39
  What else? What else?
• 22:40
  What's up? Eric Kaplan?
• 22:41
  How are you doing, pal? That was B Sebastian Bach is
• 22:46
  announcing North American. Tour with Stitched Up Heart.
• 22:49
  It's a matter of time before. Baz like you know yaps too much
• 22:52
  to. Eddie Trunk or somebody but fun
• 22:56
  fun fun there bleeding from within inside loses.
• 22:58
  They're going to tour together with Great American Ghost.
• 23:00
  That looks really cool. That's.
• 23:02
  Been really cool coming up in New York City celebrating the
• 23:05
  music of the Clash on Joe Strummer's birthday at the
• 23:08
  Bowery Electric. He used to work there.
• 23:12
  It was a lot of fun, really cool out of underground and indie
• 23:15
  rock artists in New York City covering Clash songs and just
• 23:20
  drummer stuff. That's pretty fun.
• 23:23
  Lamb of God has announced their very first show in 15 years in
• 23:26
  Puerto Rico. So we say Paso Bebe to that.
• 23:29
  We drink Cheers in Flames and Fit Burn Autopsy are going to
• 23:35
  support them. That's part of Lamb of God's big
• 23:37
  US. Tour, of course.
• 23:38
  What headbangers boat is coming back next year?
• 23:40
  Also already close to selling out.
• 23:43
  Just a minor note, Schism, the infamous American Tool tribute
• 23:48
  band, probably one of the best tribute bands ever, is calling
• 23:51
  it a day after 25 years as a band and they are in the middle
• 23:54
  of their last and final tour, including Long Island.
• 23:58
  Tomorrow might try to talk to Keith about.
• 24:00
  Getting him on, getting him to kind of look.
• 24:03
  Back on the career of the band and hit him up.
• 24:05
  We're friends. Keith Williams.
• 24:08
  Told you last week we heard the news that KMFDM has a medical
• 24:12
  illness in their camp, they have a new album coming out, they
• 24:14
  postpone their upcoming European Tour and they are going.
• 24:17
  To rebook that tour for the spring or the fall, but looking
• 24:22
  forward to the new KM. FDM record.
• 24:24
  A lot of cool new records coming out.
• 24:25
  David Lee Roth announced another bunch of solo tour dates.
• 24:28
  It's a pretty fun picture of him.
• 24:31
  I was debating with Don Delamontes if this is going to
• 24:34
  be any good or not. I think if you've never seen Van
• 24:36
  Halen or David Lee Roth, you need the experience of seeing
• 24:40
  seeing Van Halen and David Lee Roth.
• 24:43
  But I don't expect it to. Be like great vocally from him.
• 24:48
  He has the rest of the band kind of carrying him while he, you
• 24:51
  know, dances around, Hey, I'm Dave.
• 24:53
  And he does. That which is great, but like
• 24:55
  you know, you're not going. To get the David Lee Roth from
• 24:58
  like 1984. Just so you know.
• 25:01
  As you would not, Once again Crowbar and I Hate God teaming
• 25:04
  back up for another tour. This is just a poster for their
• 25:07
  show, their hometown show at Newton NOLA.
• 25:10
  At. Tipitina is the world famous
• 25:11
  jazz club. But yeah, super cool.
• 25:14
  I'd definitely go see this tour. Ricky Rackman's One Foot in the
• 25:18
  Gutter tour continues where he rides around the country on his
• 25:21
  motorcycle, and he does kind of a, you know, true rock'n'roll
• 25:25
  stories. Lees and debauchery Rock'n'roll
• 25:30
  history, rock stories. He's a lot.
• 25:32
  Of fun. I've interviewed him, I met him,
• 25:33
  he's super nice. Red Arm Orchestra plays the film
• 25:38
  and TV music. Of Mark Mothersboro of Devo.
• 25:42
  This looks amazing. Here in San.
• 25:44
  Francisco, I might need to go check this out.
• 25:47
  Oh my gosh. Also, once again, Zetro and
• 25:50
  Phantom Witch coming up for a headline show.
• 25:52
  Was kind of surprised. And he's got Great American
• 25:55
  Music Hall doing that show. I might.
• 25:57
  Check in there and see how it. Goes Here's where we are in the
• 26:01
  world on this Venn diagram 1984 Lord of the Flies, Fahrenheit
• 26:05
  451, Clockwork Orange, The Matrix, Animal Farm, Logan's
• 26:09
  Run, Handmaid's Tale. Silent Green, Brave New World,
• 26:12
  Gattaca, Brazil and you are here in the middle.
• 26:15
  It is fucking wild. I have no words.
• 26:18
  For some of the shit going on every day.
• 26:20
  I'm just trying to hold my woman close and rock out to music on
• 26:24
  injury. That helps me.
• 26:25
  Cheers. Oh.
• 26:33
  Reminder about the tip menu and it's about lost the light there.
• 26:39
  Witness protection TP. Let's talk about Fable.
• 26:41
  Beard for a second. I'm going to just go solo here
• 26:45
  for a second. Fable Beard.
• 26:46

• 26:49
  We have a link in our description if you want to get
• 26:51
  hooked up with an awesome beard like me.
• 26:53
  Can't got to be honest. My lady can't keep her hands off
• 26:55
  me. I smell great because of their
• 26:57
  all natural deodorant. My beard is killing it with the
• 27:00
  beard wash and shampoo and beard bombs and these beard oils.
• 27:04
  I'm going to use one of them right now.
• 27:06
  I haven't. Used yet?

  partners, of course, when you see ads on our website, that's

  Lamb Goat, the much meaner vicious version of Ghost Cult.
• 28:03
  Also also just shout out to my dude again, Craig Caruso of
• 28:07
  Caruso Apps. I would not be in business with
• 28:09
  a website without him. I called him up with a business
• 28:13

• 28:40
  Check it out. We're working on channel
• 28:42
  memberships, we're on all the. Socials, let's talk about all
• 28:45
  the big news of the week. So Pat Smear in one of the more
• 28:49
  coincidental and funny things on the week when glacially musical
• 28:51
  did Spinal Tap as a review and a retrospective.
• 28:55
  Pat Smear hurt his broke his foot in a gardening accident,
• 28:59
  probably skateboarding. And Oh yeah, I can't wait.
• 29:04
  I can't wait for. You to.
• 29:05
  Smell me and touch me. When I get this call.
• 29:10
  Pat Smear broke his foot. He's going to miss the beginning
• 29:12
  of their tour, which was this week.
• 29:14
  Next weekend actually had a handful of dates, including the
• 29:17
  charity show at the Kia Forum. We've been promoting.
• 29:19
  And then they have Welcome to Rockville and a bunch of
• 29:23
  European and American tour dates.
• 29:25
  And of course, of course, this is the debut tour with Elon
• 29:29
  Rubin. They played kind of a couple of
• 29:31
  secret shows and a little bit of touring with Elon, but this is
• 29:34
  like really his coming out party.
• 29:36
  In 26. So Pat Smear get well soon,
• 29:39
  buddy. Also a story that I don't think
• 29:42
  anybody else is covering a pretty controversial and I'm
• 29:45
  going to kind of stay away from the controversial parts of it.
• 29:47
  But Bob Villain, the UK rap metal.
• 29:52
  Hardcore Group. As you know they are humongously
• 29:55
  popular. I would say along the same lines
• 29:57
  as Turnstile and Idols, maybe just a touch below them in terms
• 30:01
  of popularity. You know they did the
• 30:03
  Glastonbury Festival, which is like the Coachella.
• 30:05
  Of of England. And they said some, you know,
• 30:09
  made some very strong political statements about Israel and
• 30:12
  Palestine, and the US said we're banning them and taking away
• 30:16
  their passports and taking away their visas.
• 30:18
  Fine. That's EU s S.
• 30:20
  Prerogative. And then England investigated
• 30:24
  them for like domestic terrorism, which is definitely a
• 30:27
  step too far. Even if you disagree with
• 30:29
  someone and their political leanings, you can't.
• 30:33
  Curtail free speech, even speech you don't agree with.
• 30:35
  Now hate speech. You can argue that they may be
• 30:38
  made hate speech and that kind of made them a figure.
• 30:41
  These guys were doxxed, they were terrorized, they were
• 30:44
  lambasted, fried in the kangaroo court of social media.
• 30:48
  But they the charges against them from the Glastonbury show
• 30:52
  have now been dropped in their homeland.
• 30:54
  The fight continues. We shared the video on our
• 30:57
  socials. The previous post about this.
• 31:01
  Went to 1,000,000 views and comments on Instagram.
• 31:04
  It's unheard of. We don't, we're not that big a
• 31:05
  channel, but like I'm, you know, I'm bemused and interested.
• 31:10
  I try to not let people get too nasty to each other, but
• 31:12
  obviously people are very very polarized by these topics.
• 31:16
  But. I just thought it was
• 31:17
  interesting that nobody else is touching this.
• 31:19
  Story so we post about it. True Sound The Liberty TSOL TSOL
• 31:26
  is retiring after 4546 years in punk.
• 31:31
  One of my favorite bands, Jack Grisham, was one of my favorite
• 31:34
  interviews recently and he kind of.
• 31:37
  Hinted at the end of the band. We're all older guys and I just
• 31:40
  don't see us doing this forever. So.
• 31:42
  He's got a lot of other things. He makes solo music.
• 31:44
  He's like the unofficial. Mayor of Formosa Beach, he
• 31:48
  writes. Plays.
• 31:49
  He makes music scores, films. He's he's in screenplay author
• 31:55
  very impressive. Guy, Jack and I wish them the
• 31:57
  best, probably. One of the we're going to do.
• 32:01
  In our first new music Friday of the year for tomorrow in a
• 32:05
  little while, but I wanted to call out the like there were
• 32:07
  records released on on Friday last week and one of them was
• 32:11
  actually in a banger death metal.
• 32:14
  Black and atmospheric black. Metal.
• 32:17
  Black and death metal. Black and death metal.
• 32:19
  Death and black metal. I don't know Allende ELLENDE
• 32:23
  from Austria. Check them out.
• 32:25
  This is a very scary photo. Of them I'm not scared, but like
• 32:29
  I could see how other people would be scared.
• 32:34
  So yeah, a lot of fun. That's a really cool record.
• 32:37
  You know a lot of potential great black metal coming out
• 32:41
  this year, including a new dark from this blew my mind.
• 32:44
  So we know that on New Year's Eve, MTV as we knew it is gone.
• 32:49
  They do have MTV channels on like Pluto TV and they still run
• 32:53
  Ridiculousness all the time. But MTV, the broadcasted channel
• 32:57
  is now gone. And then I discovered this week
• 33:01
  this MTV Rewind website that has 27,000 videos that pull from
• 33:06
  YouTube, but it's some coder put it together, an algorithm that
• 33:10
  like has a website, it lives on the web.
• 33:12
  It pulls all the videos that are out in the world clips.
• 33:15
  Some of them aren't the best quality because they were
• 33:17
  probably taped off the TV. But it is amazing.
• 33:21
  You may not know this, but some years ago I tried to do a metal
• 33:25
  music channel. We, I was working on this in the
• 33:28
  background with some fellow music industry folks and
• 33:31
  entertainment folks that I'm friends with and we took it
• 33:33
  pretty far. We pitched TV people and look
• 33:38
  promising, but we couldn't get it to go all the way through,
• 33:41
  but MTV rewind check that website out.
• 33:43
  They do have headbangers ball, just videos, some videos of
• 33:46
  Ricky. They have yo MTV raps.
• 33:49
  They have just. You know all the big shows,
• 33:51
  alternative nation, really fun. So whoever did.
• 33:53
  This you're a hero not all heroes wear capes just once
• 33:56
  again thanks to everybody that checked out the amigo the devil
• 33:59
  knew single this week he shared it and it kind of went viral was
• 34:03
  our biggest post on the website this week I'm going to try to
• 34:07
  call those things out all year long when there's a big.
• 34:10
  Moment or a lot of traffic that comes to us I'm I'm thankful and
• 34:16
  yeah so amigo the devil A new kind of lonely is his new song.
• 34:20
  He's going to put a series of singles that I assume will
• 34:23
  eventually become a whole record.
• 34:28
  Ruin has passed by and how laws has passed by.
• 34:31
  OK, OK. Plus, if we're put out a new
• 34:35
  single this week, their new album Normal Isn't is coming
• 34:40
  next month about a month from today and also their US Torrance
• 34:44
  quickly selling out and they announced their music video for
• 34:48
  their new single is actually a teaser for their.
• 34:51
  Upcoming comic book series. Take all my money right now,
• 34:55
  Puscifer. Take it all also also.
• 35:00
  We knew this was coming for quite some time.
• 35:03
  If you saw the. Harley Flanagan documentary
• 35:07
  about his life in punk rock and struggles.
• 35:12
  He put out a new version of Hard Times, the classic romance
• 35:17
  single, and it's just a big this it's.
• 35:20
  Out as a flexi, as a flexi disc for Decibel Magazine.
• 35:26
  So that's kind of fun, right? Hard times.
• 35:31
  It sounds just like the original with better production.
• 35:33
  I don't know what else to say. Hardly all day, JJ, No.
• 35:37
  Speaking of archival things, one of my homies is Martin Defot.
• 35:42
  He is the producer of the rap duo Gorilla Ghost from Milwaukee
• 35:47
  who I'm a huge fan of and he put up the this archive he created
• 35:51
  Milwaukee Punk. Where it's got?
• 35:53
  The history of all these bands that are lost before Spotify,
• 35:56
  before band camp, before all these sound clouds.
• 35:59
  So I like that he's trying to, you know, like carry this
• 36:03
  forward and and. Preserve things.
• 36:05
  People who preserve stuff matter to me.
• 36:07
  I can't wait for that Henry Rollins Punk Museum in
• 36:09
  Nashville. My sweetie and I are going to go
• 36:12
  to the Punk Rock Museum, which I went to once before.
• 36:14
  We're going to go together. It's going to be awesome.
• 36:17
  I missed this, but I just want to highlight this.
• 36:19
  One of my favorite people in the world is Duncan Wilder Johnson
• 36:23
  from Massachusetts. He had the booking agency
• 36:26
  Branson Cheeses. He's playing a bunch of pet monk
• 36:29
  metal and punk bands, and he directed a documentary about his
• 36:32
  favorite band, Sam Black Church. Great old school retired punk
• 36:35
  band now from the Boston scene. Interesting stuff about them.
• 36:40
  They're Masons, but also like hello, Progressive and cool.
• 36:45
  And so they have a documentary called Leave a Groove in the
• 36:47
  Earth, and the rights have passed for the music, so it's
• 36:51
  not available anyway unless they renegotiate the rights.
• 36:55
  But in the meantime, he's been hosting screenings in the New
• 36:58
  England. Area but if you want.
• 37:00
  To call your attention that this thing exists, look up Sam Black
• 37:03
  Church on your streaming services or YouTube.
• 37:05
  And hopefully someday this documentary comes back to comes
• 37:10
  back to. Us, you know.
• 37:13
  Also also Sheer Terror thank their fans.
• 37:18
  This was kind of fun. Thanks for 41 years.
• 37:20
  New Sheer Terror mini LP out soon.
• 37:22
  A lot of bands did a like it's New Year's.
• 37:25
  Here's what we're working on. So I thought that was clever
• 37:28
  that, you know, a lot of bands are doing social.
• 37:30
  Media in a way they never did before, which I really respect.
• 37:33
  La Madrina JB is here. Nugget is here.
• 37:38
  Thank you so much for being here.
• 37:40
  Bargle the desk this year. Do scooter.
• 37:45
  What up, scooter? Scooter pass by.
• 37:48
  I think he's at work. Let's see what else?
• 37:53
  What? Else Megadeth This Megadeth
• 37:55
  documentary is coming soon, which you should absolutely
• 37:59
  check out Behind the Mask. I got tickets to go.
• 38:01
  On January 24th it's actually also screaming.
• 38:04
  On the 22nd you'll have your first chance to hear new
• 38:07
  Megadeth music that is not the singles and behind the scenes
• 38:12
  discussion of Megadeth history as well as most of the new
• 38:15
  record is apparently in the documentary, so that's kind of
• 38:18
  fun. I am curious about this
• 38:20
  Metallica cover by Megadeth. I don't think Metallica would
• 38:23
  have ever covered Megadeth, but whatever.
• 38:26
  Interesting nonetheless. This is like really fun Rage
• 38:29
  Against the Machine. Never specified what type of
• 38:31
  machine they were furious with but I reckon it was probably a
• 38:33
  printer. What a great tweet.
• 38:35
  Best tweet of them you guys saw. And then just a reminder again,
• 38:39
  our own Duncan Evans of Ghost Cult also has his band Duncan
• 38:43
